SHILLONG: The damage control exercise of the Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) to pacify the disgruntled Congress ticket aspirants has failed to pay any dividend.
Majority of the disgruntled ticket aspirants including the four sitting Congress legislators — Saleng Sangma, Stanley Wiss Rymbai and Samuel Sangma — did not attend the meeting convene by the MPCC president DD Lapang at Congress Bhavan on Wednesday.
According to the party sources, Lapang had convened the meeting to convince the disgruntled ticket aspirants not to contest against the party’s official nominees in the upcoming Assembly election.
A few disgruntled ticket aspirants attended the meeting. This includes sitting Congress MDC from Mairang Rasor Rani among others.
Congress is facing a serious problem with several disgruntled ticket aspirants deciding to contest against the party’s official nominees, sources said adding that this might hurt Congress’ prospects in the polls.
Meanwhile, party sources revealed that the MPCC president had also convened a separate meeting of the Congress candidates at the party office and asked them to work hard to ensure their victory.
